We went looking for (and found!) wild lady's slipper orchids near Petite's Gap on the AT. Next year we'll start looking a little earlier in the year, just after Mother's Day maybe? #phenology #ladysslipperorchid #appalachiantrail #blueridgeva #nofilter

Watching the fog burn off this morning, I thought I was living in a Japanese watercolor. It made me think of something Annie Dillard once wrote: "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." How blessed I am to get to wake up to this. #crestofpedlar #blueridgeva #birdsanctuaryinourbackyard #goodmorning #nofilter
